Summary on electrochemical cells and redox reactions:

Electrochemical cells (or batteries) can be defined as devices capable of transforming chemical energy into electrical energy through spontaneous reactions of redox, in which electron transfer occurs.

Redox it is a chemical reaction in which there is the occurrence of oxidation and reduction of atoms of substances (chemical species) present in the process.

Oxidation is the loss of electrons by an atom of a chemical species, while reduction is the gain of electrons by an atom of a chemical species.

Thus, during an oxirreduction reaction, electrons move from the species that loses them towards the species that will receive them. This "movement" results in the formation of an electric current (or electrical energy) as occurs with batteries, for example.

Zinc reacts with aqueous sulfuric acid to form hydrogen gas: zn(s) h2so4(aq) ? znso4(aq) h2(g) in an experiment, 201 ml of wet h

WINSTONCH [101]

The products of reaction are ZnSO4 and H2. Since ZnSO4 is in aqueous form (aq), therefore only H2 and water vapor contributes to the overall total pressure in the system.
Total Pressure = 764 torr = H2 partial pressure + Water partial pressure
Since Water partial pressure is 26.74 torr so,
H2 partial pressure = 737.26 torr = 0.97 atm

What is the electron configuration of neptunium?

UkoKoshka [18]

This is the electron configuration of neptunium:
Rn 5f4 6d1 7s2
or, if you want to complicate:
1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 5s2 4d10 5p6 6s2 4f14 5d10 6p6 7s2 5f4 6d1
Since there are 93 electrons, they make up 5f4 altogether.

Determine the rate law and the value of k for the following reaction using the data provided.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer: The rate law expression is $\text{Rate}=k[NO]^2[O_2]^1$ and value of 'k' is $1.727\times 10^3M^{-2}s^{-1}$

Explanation:

Rate law is defined as the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in terms of molar concentration of the reactants with each term raised to the power their stoichiometric coefficient of that reactant in the balanced chemical equation.

For the given chemical equation:

$2NO(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2NO_2(g)$
